1. Creative Photography
I've done lots of nature photography in the last couple of years. This winter weather has made me focus on indoor photography.
This is a photo of my camera taken in an old mirror I found at the ReUse Ctr. Love the bokeh I was able get on the right.
2. Photo Challenges
I will continue with my Flickr challenges despite the limit of 1000 photos for free accounts.
3. Homemade Food
This is a bowl of soup I made the other day. Carrot Ginger Curry soup. I had bought coconut milk a while back so I went searching for a recipe in which to use it. I made chutney with ginger and curry this fall so I knew I liked those flavors. I knew I had all the ingredients as they are staples in my house.
I did not blend the soup as it was suggested in the recipe. Chunky is good with me. I cut the veggies on a mandolin.
It was pretty spicy hot from the ginger and pepper but I have eaten all three bowls.
It is colorful, flavorful and delicious. I will definitely make that again.

4. Continue to Read
A read a quote this other day. “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies . . . The man who never reads lives only one.” – George R.R. Martin
I have been to London, England and Paris, France and New York NY in books. I have visited different times during my reading. Learned about different cultures during my arm chair travels.
Here's a few of the books on my reading shelf.

5. Walking Everyday
Walking every day to get the heart rate up and investing in my health. I can use the treadmill during the winter and really enjoy the outside as soon as the weather gets warm.
Drinking lots of water as well is a priority.

I'd say we have quite a bit in common. I'm looking forward to seeing your photography. We have an elipical that I've dusted off to use again during the winter months. Otherwise, I prefer to walk outside with our doodle pupper. It's becoming painfully obvious that exercise is needed at my age! :-) And, I love soup...all kinds.

Sylvia - seems most folks that commented on my post do not set resolutions or goals, so I am glad to see your list and that we have some goals in common. Your quote about reading is so clever and spot on. I admire you for seeking out a recipe to use an ingredient … that thought passes through my mind occasionally, but it usually just keeps going! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThose look like great goals for 2019!
